Hi I'm new to the forums and was hoping someone could help me learn a thing or two about reading schematics.
I recently purchased and assembled a "Velleman Micro Bug" robot kit. The instructions provided include a schematic of the robot's circuitry. I want to be able to understand it all eventually. So I figured I'd provide a picture of the schematic and ask questions about certain parts of it and see if you guys can enlighten me on how the circuit is actually working.
Here is the schematic:http://www.esr.co.uk/manuals/manual_mk129.pdf
Now my first questions pertains to the left part of it. There is switch labled "SW2" which has two positions. My question is about the flow of current when the switch is in its depicted position. Could someone just explain to me how the flow is interacting with all the components just on the left side, I'm not yet concerned with learning the entire flow I just want to see if what I think is happening is actually the case.
